I think that Making Marijuana ice cream is a good idea for those who need to use the drug because now they can have it in the form of a tasty treat. The only thing i think that could create a problem is that it is priced so low so some of the patients might buy the " High Scream" and sell it to regular citizens to make fast cash. It may help the people that need it because it contains about 2 to 4 doses of Marijuana which could speed up the time it takes for them to get high or to feel better. It could effect us Globally like i said before by the Patients selling it to make money. It may effect us Nationally because it could potentially help some of the Citizens of Canada that have been prescribed Medical Marijuana. Regionally it could become popular with people that smoke weed there for more people will turn to the Ice cream since most people won' think it is bad because it may look like just regular ice cream. Locally because it could given to one of my siblings and they would think it just regular ice cream. So i do think that this Medical Marijuana ice cream is good for those who need it but it does also present great risks to others.

Inside the lives of the French during the revolution:
Written by: Edmond Lawrence
The Clergy: Hello Eadelmarr Pierre you are a part of the group called the Clergy. Do you mind if i ask you a few questions. How is life changing as the revolution is starting to happen? Well my life before the revolution was not bad i was making money on property taxes but now that things have changed everyone has the same rights as the other. Now i don't collect But before the revolution happened woman weren't involved in the political decisions. I personally think this is a good idea to let everyone have the same rights because now the lower class can become something in there life.Since you are in the higher Estate do you care what comes out of the French Revolution?I didn't want the revolution to happen because we have control over about 10% of the land and we make money off the commoners. So i think it is a bad idea to change it so that the commoners have the same rights as me.What's your feelings about the change in power benefiting the Commoners? I think that it is kinda a good thing but in turn it makes us as the Clergy start losing money because they don't have to pay such high taxes for our land. The Aristocrats: Hello Phillipe Kasier i'm a news reporter and i was wondering if i could ask you a few questions.Being that your Estate has great Potential and are making good money how would the Revolution effect you?- I personally think that because I'm not having to pay high taxes unlike the Commoners it should stay the same because i make good money and since my children have the opportunity to go to school but if the Commoners start being able to go to school which means then we will have to pay more in taxes so that our children can go to school. How does it feel knowing that you are part of the up and coming Bourgeise generation and the Commoners want to change the way this country is run? Well I must say that is hard because we collect taxes from the Commoners which in some ways help us to better educate ourselfs that we can become something in our lives and to change that is just wrong I mean sure give the Commoners some rights but if they have the same ones as all of us then just think of the economic factor we will lose out on high taxes from the Commoners and most importantly they will be able to go to school and become something of themselves which I think that is wrong because if you were born into that Estate you should stay apart of that Estate.The Commoners:Hello Marie Nash may i ask you a few questions? yes you may. Being that you are a Commoner how does it feel to have nothing? It really isn't all that good because my childern will not have the chance to go to school unlike the Aristocrats or for that matter the Clergy Kids but also not having money to feed my childern good and wholesome food is actually quite hard.Now if i many ask How does it feel to spend 90% of your salary on Bread? It is quite sad if you think about it we spend the 90% on our bread so that my childern can eat and where does the rest go? well it gets used to pay our taxes to that we can live on the land that the King gives us and at the end of the day there isn't really much to try and save to get another loaf of bread.sites i used:http://www.enotes.com/french-revolution-article
Facebook has been making significantly to their Privacy setting “but there is still room for improvement” says stoddart. Facebook has also made “simple privacy settings and made it easier for people to choose the type or amount of security they use.” Said Stoddart. This has been happening since 2009 when the Social networking giant was under inspection in the month of July. Stoddart did say that ever since then the Privacy is constantly changing but not quite enough because there is still room to Improve. One of the things Facebook has done is now the apps and things on Facebook have to ask the user before information can be accessed and also tells them what information the App will require. I think that is a good thing because sometimes people are posted in pictures and in status updates that don’t want to be so if they change their privacy settings to one of the new ones Facebook has made it will make them feel more secure.

Hockey logo assignment
1.
What is the central issue in this news article?
The main question of this article was what logo will be worn to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. 2
.
What is COCs reasoning for this action?
The COC will not let the Canadian team wear their jersey because it belongs to the Federation. 3
.
What does the logo mean to Team Canada and the NHL players? It symbolizes the Canadian team and shows where their loyalties and shows the other teams who they belong to. It shows their pride for the Nation of Canada.
4.
Would you expect these people to be loyal to a logo?
Yes because it means something to them to have the Team Canada logo printed on the jersey for the Olympics but since the COC didn’t want the jersey to be made there is a controversy of what kind of logo will be worn now since that one is not allowed.
There has been a problem with teenagers and texting that has arose in the past couple of months. It has been proven that teenagers send more text messages this year then they did last because now they send about 3 339 texts messages a month instead of less than 3 000. This study happened during the months of April through to June. And the numbers that they got back were astonishing. Other age groups don’t send nearly as many messages as teenagers only about 1 630 per month which it seems like it’s a habit of teenagers to text so frequently. Needless to say adults have other things to get done like work and feed their family’s that they don’t have time to text other people so maybe it is because teenagers are becoming more and more lazy so instead of talking to someone they rather text them.
I choose this article because I think it shows just how lazy us teenagers are and how we don’t interact with others unless we are in school, the mall, etc… we find it convenient to text rather than call or even talk face to face. It is also sad to think that just two years ago if someone bought a cell phone it was for emergency and now everyone gets a phone to either “ keep in touch with friends” or its because they don’t want to feel left out of the group. It has also shown that more female’s text more while Males are the ones who use more data ( internet). I personally think this is not a good thing because if we keep going with no interaction with people could cause a huge problem with society. Texting on the other hand also doesn’t show who you are and how are you supposed to get to know and understand people if there is no face to face interaction.
Teacher Feedback: Nick, please ensure you are covering the who, what, when, WHERE, and why? Is this study a Canadian study? Good work.
